Elizabeth’s research interests include investigations of cognitive-behavioural theories of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). For her dissertation, Elizabeth tested a theory of emotion dysregulation in GAD via two independent studies. First, she conducted an experiment to examine the extent to which people with GAD experience heightened emotional reactivity, based on their subjective and physiological response, compared to people with social anxiety disorder and people with no psychopathology. Second, she examined the emotional profiles of people with GAD compared to people with no psychopathology, by asking participants to conduct multiple, real-time assessments of their emotional experiences and level of worry on a smartphone throughout the day for one week.
